ALESSON WITH A MORAL.
When will Our Eyes be Opeued ia
This Great National Calamity?

The year 1886 played sad havoc
with many prominent men OF our
country.
Many of them died without warn
ing, passing away apparently in the
full flush o. life.
Others were sick but a compara-
lively short time. We turn TO our
files and are astonisbed TO find that
most of them died OF apoplexy, of
paralysis OF nervous prostration, OF
malignant blood humor, OF Briglt's
disease, of heart disease, OF kidney
disease, OF rheumatism or OF pneu-
moria.
1t is singular that most of our
prominent men die of these disorders.
Any journalist vino watches the tela-
graph reports, viii be astonished at
the numer of prominent victims Of
these disorders.
Many statements have appeared in
our paper with others to the effect
that the diseases that carried of SO
many prominent men in 1856, are
really one disease, taking dlffe ent
names according 10 the location of
the fatal effects.
When q valuable horse pershes, it
becomes The nlne days talk o. the
sporting world, and yet thousands Of
ordina Y horses are dying every day,
their Aggregate lons Is enormous, and
yet their death crea,4s no comment.
So it is with individuals. TIE
cause OF death OF prominent men
creates comment, especially when it
can be shown that one unsupported
disease carries off most oi them, and
yet " vast numbers of ordinary men
and women die before their time
every year from the same cause
1t is said If the blood is kept free
from uric acid, that heart disease,
paralysis, nervous prostrdtion, pneu-
monia, rheumatism, and many cases
of consumption, would never DO
known. This uric acid, we are told,
is the waste of the system, and il is
the duty OF the kidneys toIemove this
waste.
We are told that il The kidneys are
maintained in perfect health, the
uric, kidney, acid is kept out OF the
blood, and these sudden ana nniver-
Sal diseases caused by uric acid will,
in large measure disappear.
But how shall this be done? 1t is
folly TO treat effects. II there is any
known way Of getting at the cause,
that WAY should be known to the
pubic. We believe that Warmers
safe cure, OF which so much has been
written and 50 mitch talked OF by the
public geueralY, IS now recognized
by impartial physicians ana the pub
lie as the one specific for such
diseases.
Because public attention has been
directed to this great remedy by
means of advertising, some persons
have not boieved ii the remedy.
We cannot see how Mr. Waiher could
Immediately benefit the public in any
other way, and his valuable specific
should MOI be condemned because
some ncstruius have come before the
public in the same way, any more
than that Sil doctors should ne con-
demnel because so many of them are
Incompetent.
Ii is astonishing what good opinions
you hear on every side, OF that great
remedy, ana public opinion thus
based npou az actual experience,
has al the weight and importance oil
absolute rulh.
Ai this ,i,ne of the year, the uric
acid in ne tiooi invites pneumonia
and rheuD atism, aud there is not a
man who does not dead ihese mon
sers of disease; but he need have
no fear o' tAem we are tod, ii he rid
the blood ci the uric acid cause.
These words are s'long, and may
sound like an advertisement, and be
rejected ~ such Ay uaiiiaking peo.
pie, but we beiieHe they are the truth
and as s,,en should be spoken hy
every trutl-loving newspaper.
